I bet some plaintiff attorneys are already preparing late-night TV ads to try and find potential litigants: “Do you know someone who died in a room with an operating electric fan? If so, you could be entitled to compensation....”
A Korean man who moved to the U.S. called the police as his wife had died. He claimed “fan death”, which the police found both puzzling and unlikely. Further investigation showed that he suffocated her. I wonder how many of the reported “fan deaths” in Korea are actually homicides?
